light/fire is a nice build too, its the one i'm owning with
also spear isn't bad for pvp ethier cause you shouldn't be close anyways. all a shield does is save you SOMETIMES from other nukers your lvl. with sword shield my death rate against pure strs is damn near the same with spears. if you do block a pure str your just delaying your demise a little longer. also with spear you can at least stun a pure str. knock down with sword and shield is useless cause your just giving the str more time to pot up.
